I made this day before y'day for lunch. I used 2 potatoes(1 medium and 1 large) as I did not have baby potatoes at home and diced these into 20-30 cubes. Made the curry paste at home by dissolving 1 tbsp. of curry powder in water, mized it well and used when it was called for. I made my own Vegetable stock uising 5 cups of water in which I dissolved 2 cubes of Maggi Vegetable Stock with onions. I dont use canned tomatoes, so, I used 3 fresh tomatoes here. Additionally, I used 1/2 tsp. turmeric powder, 1/2 tsp. red chilli powder, 1 tsp. corriander powder, 1 1/4 tsps. salt, 2 tbsps. kasoori methi( this I crushed between my palms and then used and this imparted a beautiful flavour) and 1/2 tsp. clove-cinnamon and green cardmom(powdered). I added the masala powders in step 4. This curry is defintely 'fragrant' and 'colourful' and is well worth the time. I served it with Chef Tonkcats 'Yellow rice' recipe and went great! This curry will go very well with all who like food on the spicy side!
